| Sempervirens Fund offers five different ways to
create a lasting redwood tribute. Your support of
these special tribute programs helps Sempervirens
Fund to purchase new redwood parklands in the Santa
Cruz Mountains. |
| Planted
Trees: Redwood seedlings, not
individually identified, can be planted in our
redwood parks for just $50. For details see Give
a Gift that Grows. |
The Legacy and Waterfall
Groves: In the cool, cathedral-like
redwood forests of our Santa Cruz Mountains, you’ll find
three very special places for thought and reflection. You
can honor or remember a friend or loved one with a permanent
nameplate in one of these groves. All three groves are
easily accessible and can be visited often.
- For a contribution
of $300 or more to Sempervirens Fund, a nameplate will be
added to the Legacy Grove sign in Big Basin Redwoods State
Park.
- For a contribution of $1,000 or more to Sempervirens
Fund, a nameplate will be added to the San Lorenzo River
Redwoods Legacy Grove sign in Castle Rock State Park.
- For a contribution of $2,500 or more to Sempervirens
Fund, a nameplate will be added to the Gazos Creek Waterfall
Grove sign in a magnificent stand of redwoods by this
year-round waterfall, just a short walk from inland from
the Gazos Creek Road.
To let the recipient
know of your thoughtful gift, we will send a beautiful acknowledgement
card, a color photograph, and a map to the grove site. |
| Dedicated
Redwoods: Standing straight and tall,
majestic coast redwood trees can be dedicated as
living memorials or gifts. For your contribution of
$500 to $10,000 -- and depending on the age, size, location and availability of the tree -- you can dedicate a mature
redwood tree in Big Basin Redwoods State Park,
Butano State Park, or Castle Rock State Park.
Trees have been dedicated by high school
classes, Sunday school classes, nursery schools and
other groups. Yet trees are most often dedicated by
individuals.
You may ask us to select a tree on your
behalf. Or, when you make a contribution of $1,000 or more
for a
Dedicated Redwood, you may choose to visit the park and select
your
special redwood tree with the assistance of our field representative.
The gift recipient(s) you designate will receive an attractive
acknowledgement card and a color photograph. [SEE
CARD]
To help you become familiar with the location of
your dedicated tree, a small identifying tag will be placed at its base. Your
redwood will be dedicated only by you, and will be
registered with Sempervirens Fund in
perpetuity. |
| Dedicated Groves: A majestic grove of coast redwood trees makes a lasting tribute in memory of a loved one or in celebration of a special occasion. With a gift of at least $25,000 -- and depending on the age, size, location and availability of groves -- you may dedicate a grove of mature redwood trees in Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Butano State Park, or Castle Rock State Park.
From the majestic redwoods in Big Basin and
Butano State Parks to the peaceful forest lands of
Castle Rock, a dedicated grove is a lasting tribute
to your generosity and commitment to the
preservation of our wilderness parks.
We encourage grove donors to visit the park with
us to select just the right place to honor and
remember family and friends. Each dedicated grove
is celebrated with a handsome wooden sign bearing
the recipient's name. Private organizations and
service clubs may also dedicate groves.
The dedication of a redwood grove is a timeless
way to ensure that future generations will inherit
our legacy of healthy forest parkland. For more information, please contact our Director of Major Gifts, Shannon McEntee. |
